| == Problem ==
| |
| | |
| As scheduled, blocker bug reviews do not provide enough time to process the review feedback and get fixes in.
| |
| | |
| == Proposals ==
| |
| | |
| # I think we should be doing the first blocker review day a week earlier
| |
| # I think that blocker review for a given snapshot (alpha, beta) should happen at least 7 days before the freeze for said snapshot
| |
| # There should be a blocker review the day of or day before the scheduled RC compose

| = The term ''RC'' is a lie =
| |
| | |
| As defined in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Release_candidate wikipedia] ...
| |
| | |
| The term release candidate (RC) refers to a version with potential to be a final product, ready to
| |
| release unless fatal bugs emerge. In this stage of product stabilization (read QA cycle), all
| |
| product features have been designed, coded and tested through one or more Beta cycles with no
| |
| known showstopper-class bug.
| |
| | |
| == Problem ==
| |
| | |
| By scheduling multiple composes of an RC, are we supporting the perception that a Fedora Release Candidate is a '''lie'''?
| |
| | |
| == Proposals ==
| |
| | |
| # We should have a Test Compose a week prior to the freeze. This gives QA and whomever a chance to put the compose though our test matrix and find the problems before we freeze then once we clear blocker list we can compose a release candidate if it passes the matrix, it goes out
| |
| # Once we get RC stage, we make an RC and every single day is a blocker bug review day. Either there are new blockers found and we have to respin, or there aren't and we move on.
| |
| # There should be only one scheduled RC compose, and an understanding that it's a day to day thing we make an RC, re-review blocker status until there is a new blocker, make another RC
